History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]

content removed

in BoB Poles helped alot with their small contribution, I don't want to think how it would been if Britain REALLY did stand alone. The morale of the people is quite important too remember!

Hitler wanted the surrender of Britain mostly not to invade it, he didn't have enough transports to do it neither the superiority in the air. Hence why BoB was important.

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

Well lets bring it home a bit, Norwegians tried to wipe out the indigenous Sami culture.

I know, and many Norwegians don't really /care
I am really ashamed of it, I think of the Sami culture very highly

Still proves my point that... not many Norwegians know FULLY what the Sami people went through...

Who were about to shed the shackles of yet another dictatorship? As the Poles wished to do also?

The internet wasn't available the communication between nations wasn't that good, and nobody knew that much about what happened in ww2 like we know today.

Also Poles looked at Germans, Germany as evil imperialists (think of the propaganda from the commies with the NATO imperialistic countries etc). You know what propaganda can do to a person ;)

The times was right after WW2 :p

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

And we are talking about the killing of native Americans, which Europeans/Americans did do.

SeanBM as others have inclined they don't know the FACTS they know the myth only!
All of American except for the immigrants were born in America! Just ask any guy in America where he was born! xD lol

History / Question on Poland's szlachta clan admission [26]

I suppose it would been possible, back in the good old days 1 had to bring some family members (2 maybe) to court (maybe) and testify they were in family with that person or from the same heritige.

Although if someone joins the family it should be possible to knight that person as a member of a noble family then. (think first nobles weren't nobles at birth)

So logiclly there should be a chance for that, but I am not sure myself :)

Most of it are only theories from my side

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]

also that English is a germanic language...

Even if I do have Germanic roots, have a native language wich is more German then Norwegian really I am still not german nor will I ever be im Norwegian/Polish in my soul and nobody can change it even if they test my blood and it shows 100% German roots I still say:

I AM HALF POLISH AND HALF NORWEGIAN!!!

Roots may give some sentimental duudli daddle and interesst of reading it up. But it won't change any intellectual beeing.

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [341]

But you wrote you are a supporter of absolute monarchy.

One is not a stone, mood may change, one day a Smith another day a brown :=)

But im allmost for what Const said about democracy just that I like "noble Democracy" better.

Or more to say "educated democracy"
I wouldn't have anything against experts controlling the experteese.
Let the samrt guys rule, the other scum mob can just go and speak up something in the media and play opressed for what I care.

If just becaouse some huge mob of idiots makes my country volnurable for attacks I would make revolution and even bring socsialism to them for all I care ;(

But as I said I like "Educated Democracy" best, but if it is necessary I would also accept dictatorship. Hopefully not me I would most likely love to be some form of general or allmost highest commander, not THE chief ;)

But if it IS reqired what can one do...
btw Pawian thanks for info was nice reading :=)

Face it,if "you" were that fookin good you wouldnt have been occupied until 1989 ...muppet....

Yeah I know Poland can just easily beat Nazi Germany, Soviet union, USA, Japan, China,Italy and Great Britain! Ooo we should have used all that power but we are pascifists! (LOL)

With your way of thinking alliances should have been abolished long time ago...

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

Is this just me??

When i think about it your right! Everytime I am in Poland and some of my family is driving a car and park at the "parking building or underground" they get troubles getting out?!

For me it seems like easy since I just follow the arrows on the ground but they allways look after something that is written ! :S

History / Polish military in 1939 in pictures. [107]

They were both VERY similar

I tell you I know some things ;)

What does it say?

(Please not "Berlin in one week" or so....)

"W Tydzień! Berlin!" ?

I like "Zwarci i zjednoczeni, Zwycieżymy wroga!" much better :D
I got it as a poster in my room and "WARA" at my door xD
"WARA" all who wants to get into my room hihi :P

"To arms!".

"United and unified we will, We will conquer the enemy!":)

Same poster!
It was To arms! & United and unified we will defeat the enemy!

Wonderfull pictures! Many of them never seen! (pictures, I have seen most of the vehicles but thoose tanks :O)
